A little bit about me

Hi I’m Ellie! I’m 23 years old, I just moved back to Michigan after nannying a 3 year old in Utah for the past 3 years. Before that I nannied twin one year old girls. I’ve babysat and cared for kids from ages 0-13. I also have worked with and am currently working with adults with special needs. I love to paint, make pottery and be outside. I’ve always had a passion for loving people and adding to peoples lives. I’m planning on moving to Grand Rapids within the next few months so I’m looking for a care position there.
